What is filling up my root volume???

Should be that hard to track down using df and du as appropriate rather than some "look pretty but not that useful" gui app.

If media isn't a separate filesystem (which the gui seems to imply) then that would appear to be using most of the space.

I thought media was just what drives/partitions go mounted under...

I am not understanding something, media has my user folder then a folder with a document that is a link for my other partition, so how is that filling up root? Sorry, I am dumb I guess...

Hmmm, not sure why, but I have a lot more free space now...
